Biography

Akin Akturk ([email protected]) earned his Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in 2006 and 2001, respectively, from the University of Maryland, College Park. He is an accomplished expert in electrical engineering specializing in silicon carbide and silicon electrical and thermal design, modeling, fabrication, and testing. Currently, he leads the design and fabrication effort of silicon carbide devices at CoolCAD, College Park, MD 20740 USA. He is an expert in testing and modeling of electronics for extreme environment applications. His work involves interdisciplinary research and development in power electronics, optical sensor fabrication, and nanotechnology. He is currently focused on the testing, modeling, and fabrication of extreme electronics and the use of these in various applications: high temperature and power operation of silicon carbide devices, as well as low temperature and under radiation transport physics in silicon and silicon carbide. He has done extensive work on compact and physics-based modeling of wide bandgap power devices and predicting self-consistent electrothermal performances of these devices in power circuits. His research interests also include space and terrestrial radiation testing and modeling.
